Beat the Clock is a disco single by the American rock duo Sparks, which was released in 1979. It is named after the game show Beat the Clock. The song peaked at #10 in August 1979 and spent six weeks in the UK Singles Chart. It was their third and final top ten single in the UK. The song was taken from the album No. 1 In Heaven and produced by Giorgio Moroder for Mellow B. V. During the late 1970s he was one of the premier producers, his working relationship grew from Sparks' appreciation of Donna Summer's dynamic "I Feel Love" which Moroder co-wrote and co-produced. The 12" remix was the first of the group's extended remixes. The remix utilized the drum pattern from the songs midsection and added a new keyboard melody line during the chorus. The "long version" as it was dubbed was edited to three and a half minutes and released as the B-side to the 7" single. Long versions of "The Number One Song in Heaven" and "Tryouts for the Human Race" - both singles from the same album as "Beat the Clock" were merely the standard album versions.
